The prospective owners of a prospective Arkansas WNBA team want to build an arena in Walmartville Bentonville; they also want the team to play at the U. of Arkansas in Fayetteville if their own arena doesn't get built on time.

The university has now said no: that arena won't host events without student-group sponsors. (The Chicago Sky, by contrast, make a college arena their home.) The prospective owners say they're still looking around.
